Samson, now confined in the paddock
ad joining the mcnagcric in Central Park,
is probably the largest elephant in this
country. He belongs to the Coles CIR
Gus Combination, and has disposition
so vicious that no one is all owed to APP
proach him. His prescnc, here recalls
the time when Emperor. still more
vicious animal, was one of tho chief at
fractions of the Park Mcnagcric. This elc-
plant had been deemcl far too danger
Gus to exhibit in public performances,
and had been sent hither to be kept in
a large iron cage, in the mcnagerie build
ing. He was of arevengeiul disposition,
and would Treasure up an injury for
months, seeking tho first favorable OPP
poriunily 10 wreak his spite. At one
time he seiz ID keeper named Herman
with his trunk and threw him, as boy
would toss ball, through a window OF
the building. inflicting severe injuries.
Many efforts were made TO tame him,
but none succeeded. Finally he was
through the S ,uth.
Then came the difficulty of removing
him from the cage where he had been
confiaed for over a year. There was
only one attendant courageous enough
to enter the cage and unfastel tt
shackles from his legs. This man was
Thomls D1nohuc, who had been the
night waichmln at the menagerie since
1876. H. possesses wonderful power
over wild animals, and stands upon
such familiar footing with lions, tigers
and other fci o ious beasts that he
fcarlessly caresscs them. The secret OF
his power is kindness. Donohue had
always r atcd Emperor with gentleness,
ut the same time giving him to under
stand that he was the master, SO that
when the TIM came for the elephants
removal he entered the cage without the
slightest trcpidation, set free his
shacklcd feet, pissed rope over his
neck aud led him triumphantly out of

act. Emperor afterwarl became so
unmanagenble that another attempt was
made TO subduc him. An elephant

were applied 10 his feet until they were
ruined forever, Emperor did not even

The late DE-. Hugh j. Glenn, of CO.
lusa County. California, was regarded as
the largest wheat grower in this coun-
ry, with the possible exception OF some
Of the bonanza wheat farmers Of Da-
kota. He had 20. 600 acres of land in
Colusa County, aud one could ride for
seventeen mics along the Sacramento
River without leaving his possessions.
He had 40, 600 acres sown i'm wheat, and
in harvcst-timc a small army of men were
employed. 1t was Thought when he
died, about two years ago, that the
great ranch would b. split up, and
would thus afford homes 10 hundreds of
families; but the heirs decided to allow
it to remain intact, and this year the
manager Of the estate reports that fully
rs much land is in wheat rs during the

The eiderd luck constitutes the wealth

their nests every year about the begin

chosen the place where she wishes 10 lay
her eggs, she plucks from her plumage

A Colonet's Var Paint.

A privat soldier of the Army Of the
Potomac tells the following story with
all the more relish, perhaps. because it
bears against an officer. The incident
occurred ON the ninth day of the fight
ing around Spottsylvania. The private,
worn out with continuous marching and
fighting. had slept from six o'clock one
evening till two in the ternoon of the
next day.
brcakfasted about three an1 then,
feeling frisky, volunteered TO go to a
spring quarter of u mile to the rear, the
first portion of the path to which was
commanded by Confederate rifles. My
comrades loaded me down with empty
cantcens, and l ran, 10 avoid the sharp
shooters fire to the protection of the
forest behind us. There i saw many
soldiers, holIow-cycd, tired looking
men, lying on the ground sleeping sound
ly. The water in the spring hal been
rolled, so searched for another higher
up the run. While looking for it / saw
colonel of infantry put on his war
paint.
Ii was n bowling farce in ono act.
This blonde, bewhiskered brave sat safe
ly behind large oak-trce. He looked
around quickly. His face hardened with
resolution. He took "a cartridge out of
his vest pocket, tore the paper with his
strong white teeth. spilled the powder
into his right palm, spat on it, and then,
first casting glance around to see if he
was observed. he rubbed the moi,tcned
powder on his face aud hands, and then
dust coated the war paint. Instantly he
was transformed from trembling cow
ard, lurking behind a tree, into IN ex-
..austcd brave, taking little, we'll
earned rcposc.
That 'ght Idreamcd of comic plays
and extravagant burlcs qucs, but in the
widest of dream vagarics there was no
pictured that compared with the actual
ono had seen in the forest. That
colonel is yet alive. | saw him two
